Due to the wide range of crimes within the federal purview, each agency has a distinct and well-defined set of responsibilities. However, given the complexity of many federal crimes, it is quite common for a number of federal agencies to coordinate expertise, manpower, and resources to achieve a singular goal.

In 2006, about 144,000 suspects were arrested on federal charges; in 2010, this number increased to nearly 180,000. Between 2006 and 2010, the most common arrest offense in federal law enforcement was due to illegal immigration, which accounted for 46 percent of all arrests. Other common federal offenses during the same time period included drug crimes, which saw an increase of 16 percent in the number of arrests, and supervision violations, which saw an increase of 14 percent. Immigration arrest rates, between 2006 and 2010, also grew the fastest, at 16 percent, followed by sex crime arrests, at 10 percent, and fraud arrests, at 6 percent. Given the high rate of immigration arrests, it comes as no surprise that the five federal judicial districts along the U.S.-Mexico border accounted for 56 percent of all federal arrests in 2010: * California (Southern) * Arizona * New Mexico * Texas (Western) * Texas (Southern) The largest employers of federal law enforcement officers, as of 2010, were: * Customs and Border Protection: 27,705 * Federal Bureau of Investigation: 12,242 * U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement: 10,399 The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that, during the same time, as least 10 other agencies employed at least 1,000 federal law enforcement officers. EDUCATION AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREERS Employment and training requirements for federal law enforcement agencies are well-defined and precise. Education – Most agencies demand a specific amount of experience from candidates, although a formal education is becoming an acceptable equivalent to experience among many agencies. As such, many individuals interested in pursuing jobs in federal law enforcement choose to complete a bachelor’s degree in a number of programs, such as: * Criminal Justice * Homeland Security * Emergency Management * Public Safety * Criminology Criminal justice and criminology programs typically provide students with a theoretical and practical approach to crime as it relates to local, state and federal interests. Coursework, therefore, generally covers the following areas of study: * Criminology * Ethics in Criminal Justice * Concepts of Social Science Research * Law, Policing and Corrections * Security and Police Administration Public safety, homeland security and emergency management degrees offer additional areas of study for individuals interested in federal law enforcement careers related to the development of emergency plans and ensuring effective operations during catastrophic events. Therefore, coursework in these programs often focuses on the following areas of study: * Hazard Mitigation * Public Relations * Disaster Response * Critical Infrastructure Protection * Catastrophic Event Response Planning Training – Many of the federal law enforcement jobs require training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), which has a number of flagship basic training programs: * Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) * Land Management Police Training (CITP) * Uniformed Police Training program (UPTP) For example, new CIA agents must complete the Criminal Investigator Training Program through the FLETC, while new CBP officers must complete the Uniformed Police Training Program. Some federal agencies have their own training programs, in addition to initial training at the FLETC. New Secret Service agents, for example, complete the Criminal Investigator Training Program at the FLETC, followed by another 18 weeks of training at the Special Agent Training Course at the Secret Service Training Academy in Washington, D.C. Still, other agencies have training specific to certain positions, such as the CBP, which trains all new border patrol agents at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, NM.
